Money, Money, Money!

An extensive collection of coins and bank notes is currently being offered for sale by Thainstone Specialist Auctions (TSA).

The online auction of more than 470 lots at www.goanm.co.uk features an array of Roman, British, world and miscellaneous coins and banknotes which are being sold on behalf of a private collector.

Roman coins from the reigns of well known figures such as Augustus, Caligula, Hadrian, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony will feature alongside a wide range of British coins dating from 1247 to 1993.

In addition there will be a range of currency from across the globe, including British Guiana, Fiji, the Marshall Islands, Sierra Leone and Zambia.

Commenting on the sale, Zandra Black of TSA said: “It is very unusual for us to be asked to sell such an extensive selection of coins and bank notes and the online auction has attracted a lot of interest, particularly for some of the older Roman coins.”

Online auction administrator Alan Donald added: “This auction really seems to have captured the imagination of bidders and I would anticipate that bidding will become fast and furious as next week’s deadline approaches.”

The online auction closes at 12noon next Wednesday (November 30th).
